*The Decemberists* Album: Castaways and Cutouts Song: July, July! There is a road that meets the road that goes to my house and how the green grows there. And we got special boots that beat the path to my house and it's careful, and it's careful when I'm there. And I say your uncle was a crooked French Canadian and he was gunshot running gin and how his guts were all suspended in his fingers and how he held'em, how held'em, held'em in. PRE-CHORUS And the water rolls down the drain. The water rolls down the drain. O what a lonely thing! In a lonely drain! July, July, July never seamed so strange July, July, July never seamed so, never seamed so strange. This is the story of the road that goes to my house and what ghosts do there remain. And all the thoughts that run the length and breadth of my house and the chickens, how they rattle chicken chains. And we'll remember this when we are old and ancient, though the specifics might be vague. And I'll say your camisole was a sprightly light magenta when in fact it was a nappy bluish gray. REPEAT PRE-CHORUS REPEAT CHORUS END on
